TREMONTE RESERVA MERLOT 2020

Cara Sur 2018

Composition: 100% Merlot

Alcohol: 14.4%

This wine displays an intense red color with brick-red nuances.

Its nose is delicate, revealing herbal notes, ripe plums, and subtle hints of spices.

On the palate, it is full-bodied yet approachable, with soft, pleasant tannins that provide gentle persistence and a finish of ripe red fruits.

Wine Highlights

  • The Merlot variety was planted in 1996. All grapes are hand-harvested and transported in bins to the winery.
  • The grapes are destemmed and left in the tank for three days of cold maceration to extract aromas.

  • After fermentation with selected yeasts, the wine is racked.

  • A portion is aged in French barrels, while the remainder remains in tanks, where malolactic fermentation takes place.

  • It is recommended to serve at 16°–18°C and pairs particularly well with turkey, chicken, pasta, risotto, and soft cheeses.
